Still very active indeed. He recently noted new call-sign Tango Mike
Sierra (TMS 22) on 5339. At first I thought this was a new call as it
did not appear on any of my own records or in documents in our files.
But by a strange coincidence it turned up on a cassette tape we
received of numbers station recordings from the late 1970 s. So TMS is
not quite a new call, just a very rare one.
He are preparing a feature about message strings (VLB 22D45D46E47 )
etc. for the next issue. I hope to be able to throw light onto these
strange transmissions.
All information shown below is based on reports received since last
issue. Some frequencies share call signs.

message string from VLB recently was VLB 14B2Z156Z133Z140Z172Z117Z188 .
More on these in issue 12.

E16) TWO LETTER (ENGLISH) Mode SSB // G16
Good news. Two reports received since last issue when we reported no
traffic in English. Stations AU - Alpha Uniform and MD - Mike Delta
are still around.
AU seems to have a different purpose to other call signs in this set
up. Transmissions from AU are quite rare but unlike any others m this
family they appear on 2 // frequencies, usually 4821 and 4888.
Transmissions always start on the hour and are repeated one hour
later. Last ID heard was 192.
Mike Delta is also still around and more details can be found in Simon
Masons column, along with latest operating schedule.
El 7 ENGLISH LADY '00000 ' ENDING Mode AM
Still about but keeping a low profile this odd little station with its
'00000' would suggest it is part of a much larger family, but we are
not certain.
Likes the random approach to transmitting and appears without warning
at the strangest of times. Only two reports received this time round.

X6) The 6 Tone repeating stations are still very active. No schedule
has ever been established. Sone transmissions have been known to
repeat within the hour.
It is well worth staying on the frequency once the 6 tone AM signal
ends. On odd occasions a short string of morse is sent followed by an
FSK message. This sometimes occurs about 30 seconds after the 6 tome
signal leaves the air.

, ^3 2 - THE 14403kHz NETUORK ( concluding parti - by M.G.
In ENIGMA Newsletter 9, we introduced the highly
Russian morse net, M32. In this feature, the transmission
structure itself will be analysed.
Each message consisted of up to ten elements excluding^ the
call: A - a random 3F group, probably the decode key. B ^a 2
or 3F group representing the approximate group count. C a
2F date group, (date of message origin). D - a 4F time g P>
always between 0800 & 1400 and timed to the minute
hours?). It bore no relation to time of
probably indicates time of origin of message. E - a repeat of
the decode key. F - an optional Z-code group, those used in
tne aecoue g - a 3F group which
the sample being: ZLA, ZAY, Zbr o< tuu * .
is occasionally identical in two cosecutive message
transmissions - probably the link number. H - an °P x ° na ^
group consisting of 3, 4 or 5 Ps . This may indicate reply
priority or message urgency. I - the 5L message proper. J -
either ending AR or a further 3F group followed by K •
reply. This group is related to the date of origin, and is
identical for 2 or 3 messages together. It is probably
encryption key for encoding the recipient's reply. In the
single case where a reply was not required, this group was not
sent. Break codes (=) were sent between elements E & F , G
H , H & I and I & J •
A most bizarre peculiarity was the group count given which in
only one case was correct! Deviation from the correct number
of groups varied between +9 and -10. There is no doubt that
the 2 or 3F element 'B' was related to the group count, as l
all cases true group counts were high relative to this
deviation. (over 100 in most messages). Short of the
operator/s being accused of miscounting on , ou _
occasions, I can only conclude that these approximate g o p
counts are not errors. But why send them deliberately.

Staying on a similar subject Lars in Finsterwalde , Germany & Vassily
in Moscow both ask why so many stations speak the numbers m different
ways to every day speech.
The first part of the answer is to do with short wave reception. Words
can easily be mis-heard and so nearly all German language stations
seem to use Svo for 2 because Zwei sounds like Drei over the air. The
more difficult part of the answer concerns the odd pronunciations.
This is caused by none native speakers reading the numbers. So you
have peculiar corruptions to familiar words with Polish announcers
reading German and Hungarians reading English . The results are
sometimes less than satisfactory and it 13 a wonder that agents know
whether to blow up the bridge or go to the dinner party .
On now to the subject of books. Tony in York wrote to tell me that
'The Hobbyists Guide to Comint Collection 4 Analysis which was
reviewed in issue 10 is available in the UK. Details can be obtained
by contacting Lowe Electronics, Chesterfield Road, Matlock,
Derbyshire. Telephone UK
01629- 580800.
Tony also nentions the 'Audio Guide to SW Sounds
available fron Interproducts, 8 Abbot Street, Perth,
£4.95 inc postage with over 30 sounds in all.
; a cassette
Scotland. UK
Simon Mason told me about a new book called 'The Ultimate Spy Book' by
H Keith Melton. It contains several pages showing spy radios and one
time pads. UK price is about £16. Me will try and obtain more details
on this, if any reader purchases a copy we would appreciate a review
and ISBH details.
Jonathan in Zimbabwe is reading a book called "Every Spy a Prince
billed as the Ho.l book about Israel's Secret Intelligence Agencies
and the “Complete History of Israel's Intelligence Community . Of
interest are rather short descriptions of how communications are
maintained with field agents in various instances, including coded
messages broadcast during an apparently normal Israel Radio
transmission, a female agent in Beirut who sent messages back to HQ by
using a favourite piece of Mossad technology, an aiiazingly tiny ra 10
set, also an agent in Egypt who carried around a transmitter in the
heel of his shoe !
The book is written by Dan Raviv 4 Yossi Helman, published by Houghton
Mifflin ISBH 0-395 58120-6 (paperback) 473pp.

A few quick mentions to regular contributors Vassily in ^
Ian in Scotland who tells me his prehistoric typewriter went the way
of the pterodactyls and is now working on his new HP. Greetings to Jin
in Strathkiness, Ivan in St . Petersburg & Ken in Doncaster, and Hans in
Trier, Germany. Thanks to everyone for the logs news and information.
Hi now to Ton in the USA. Sorry we could not fit your letter in last
time around. Tom mentions stations V2 & H8 which he is convinced are
related (Ed. They are) He tells us that he heard the voice station
sending a normal message but with M8 in the background of the YL
sending CW 5F cut numbers. When the YL went off air, so did the Horse
signal, even though it did not sign of with its usual AR AR AR SK SK
SK. This was a problem with the mixing, not two stations on the
frequency.
We are very interested in comments concerning a station heard in
America with the call sign P7X (this station uses a similar format as
P8K) which pops up from time to time sending 120 Sroup messages wi
high-speed data transmissions between messages. The preambles
always the same : WV DE P7X IIPII 140230 GR 120 BT, then goes into
120 group message. The group 140230 is the date an d tine. This
sends two messages an hour, repeating each one, for a total of four
transmissions an hour. The station uses one frequency, sending
messages none stop for several hours. This will occur for about three
weeks, when the station disappears for a while. It will then appea
later on another frequency, where the whole process starts over again.
I have heard this is some kind of training activity, (interesting) but
I can't speculate on who would be using this station. Frequencies
noted in Worth America are 3278, 4440, 5125 5397 & 5431. I have also
heard this station using call signs E91 & K3C. (Ed. It is believe
be French).
Finally, Tom mentions our feature on New Star Radio in issue 9. In the
"Looking East" column it was stated that the New Star station had
□oor reception in SB Asia on 8300 kHz. I thought I should inform you
that I was in the Philippines in 1990, the 8300 !^ z Ration h ]j£ *
tremendously strong signal. The carrier stayed on 24 hours per
and was, in fact, a nuisance when trying to listen to signals close
the frequency.
My thanks to Brian in Crawley, your comments are * 1 ™?* '
Brian mentioned our recent piece concerning Radio Northsea
International. He says he was unaware of Bollier s involvement in the
Lockerbie incident, and several of the other connections you ®®ntion-
As one of those dedicated listeners I do r emember lining to RHI
all the time it was being jammed, and in particular the time when
tried constantly to change its frequency to avoid the jamming, only to
have the powerful government transmitter sweep over it after about 10
seconds of returning to the air on a new frequency.
The one incident that always stayed in my mind over the pirate ships
saga was the total about-turn made by the opposition once they were
elected as the new government, over their election pledge
stations. The suggestion was, that once in power, they had access to
secret papers which were not available to them while in opposition,
and that this information was of such importance that they were forced
to change their policy.

Hi now to Andreas in LsndBberg Gernany. Andreas sent in another very
Settled collection of consents and logs. Included this tine around
was his recent visit to Prague. Close to Prague castle is the Ministry
of Foreign Affairs (MFA) . After visiting an exhibition Andreas had a
closer look at the MFA and spotted a strange construction of
which were surely an antenna, he tells us that he could not see the
whole construction which was well hidden.
"There was an exit of the MFA, which was open to let soneone out, at
thi3 point I could see three Log-Periodic antennas and a strange one
that I could not easily describe. I also saw a little T antenna which
is possibly for receiving signals. So I ask : what are these antennas
used for ? I don't think that such constructions are there to nonitor
siSals froa all over the world. I*, also not aware of short wave
traffic of Czech enbassies back hone ( does anyone know about thi^
?)-and the antennas did not look new."
He also know about the nany Czech Nunber Stations. OLX is operated by
the Ministry of Interior, who tell us no other service operates on
behalf of the MFA, or naybe the MFA operates it on behalf of the
Ministry of Interior."
Ed note ; Hhy does a snail country like the Czech RjPjjJjiio *
Nunber Station 23 hours per day ? I wonder, perhaps they send tr
to Central Europe and the CIS for another well known agency which ends
i° a 8! Certainly southing still eo.es out of the Czech Repoblio for
its own intelligence agents but it is not likely to be via OLX.
I also nan aged to read through "Der BHD" by Erich Schnitt-Eenboon the
test researched book on the subject of intelligence I have , ever: read_
It was reconnended in an ENIGMA sone tine ago. The book does talk
about the Hungarian Intelligence Service. Prior to 1989 it was known
as AVH (Allanvddelni Hatosag) and because of its successes against
NATO-states it was feared by the Hest. It was then turned into the
Organisation for the Protection of the Constitution. The new
governnent (in 1991) gave up espionage in foreign countries
(Hhy did they continue to operate Nunber Stations then ?).
There was also a snail scandal because of the TRIED investigation of
opposition politicians. The Hungarian governnent even IdM I
Hestern countries for what they did in the years prior 1
think they did not give up espionage in foreign countries completely,
3 Note Oddity 4 VDE are both active. They nay have just changed their
LrfeLoJfo forner allies like Ronania, Slovakia 4 the forner
Yugoslavia That could easily be regarded as only a donestic
operation? because all these countries have borders with Hungary and
in addition Hungary can clain to have a security interest m t
countries .
Another thing that was reported on Radio Budapest, Gernan service, was
that after 1989 several hundred people are said to have been observed
without pernission by the Hungarian Intelligence Service.
The leader of the Gernan ninority in Hungary protested that his
organisation was being observed. He requested to know JJ® £ac^roun ^
reasons, and details about just who was observed. The Minority Bureau
also received conplains fron both Serbian and Greek ninonties.

A +n the library turned up something very interesting. In a book
called ’* Inside the KGB" by Aleksei Hyagkov I noticed the following
revealing traits in the actions of an
agent receiving one way transmissions or engaged in
communications . "
The book listed 9 tell-tale signs which may indicate espionage
activities.
1) Keeping awake two nights running at times of crisis etc.
2) Ascertaining the fact of postal correspondence being dispatched
after the day fixed for radio transmissions.
3) . Discovery of his definite frequencies and notebook with 5 figure

5) Use of headphones.
6) Creating the impression that the suspected person is absent from
the flat at the time of reception.
7) Refusal to receive visitors especially on the day of reception .
8) Recording radio broadcasts on a tape recorder .
9) Concealment of knowledge in radio matters.
Hop many ENIGMA readers would fulfil one or more of these criteria ?
A strange request was published in the World DX Club s Contact
magazine recently by Mr Rodney R. Sixe of Redruth in Cornwall. He says
"Can anyone help me in obtaining an Israel Radio programme schedule of
some years ago which shows the frequencies 27905 & 27790 in operation.
Also, I am keen to get a cassette recording or log of the 3rd harmonic
of the "7m" pop music grind Jammer on either 29085 and/or 29115 kHz.
I hadn't heard of either of these transmissions before this, has
anyone else ?
In the final death throes of the 2~Let ter Stations, on July 3rd 1996

Those of you who try your luck on the National
Lottery might use the random properties of the

I prefer to use Mike Delta YL/EE station but any
will do, except perhaps OLX which is a little
too fast. I take the first two digits of the 5F
group if they are between 1-49, any above can be
ignored. For example, 12113 89003 42333 23322
33399 09037 would produce the numbers 12, 03, 42,
23, 33, and 09. This method has yielded two £10

Following our request for information in issue 10 the following
article was received by ENIGMA.
"In response to your request I did some digging on this and spoke to
someone who knows about transmitters. He had newspaper articles on
and collects old military radios so was able to steer me in the r g
direction for information and gave me a well informed opinion The
information in the articles was sketchy and merely conveyed official
dis-information which was considerable in this case.
In 1980 a field was being ploughed in (forth Kales ne & r Llangollen . 26
year old Goronwy Morris was working on his father's 600 acre farm when
a carrying case which looked like a portable typewriter was unearthed
in the soil. It seems that it was also wrapped in a plastic wrapper.
It was shown at a National Farming Union meeting to branch secretary,
Meurig Voyle and everyone present also agreed that it was a spy ra io
set but nobody knew what to do with it. The Press were told and then
the Police. The Police gave the farmer a receipt for a brown box 14.5
inches by 10.5 inches which contained radio equipment. This was the
last time it was seen in Kales. Police and Home
descended on the farm at Pant y Haen, Llanrhaedr ym Mochnant. They
used what they said were metal-detectors all over the area where the
set was found and the farmer signed a disclaimer saying he had no
right to it. They would not let him watch the search. The Police gave
it to the Home Office who then said they didn't have it and that was
the last anyone saw of it. Everyone denied knowledge of it including
the Anti-Terrorist Branch and Special Branch. A photo had been taken
of the set by Voyle before it went to the Police statlon at
Bay. I had heard that messages were put on perforated tape and put
through a reader for fast transmissions according to one reporter but
I do not know if this was the case. Dis~in formation is rife .
The local HP wrote to the Home Secretary who said that the set was of
foreign origin and was examined by the Security Service. There were no
clues to its origin except some bolts with USA stamped on them. I
a wire recorder for sending coded signals at uJtra high speed - .
There were 40 metal cased frequency crystals in the box which was like
a typewriter . This was all in 1980.
In February 1981 a 2.5 inch strip of microfilm was Tound by the farmer
on his desk and he guessed it was from the radio. It had 5 P^fes and
was called " Transmitter Handling and Maintenance and referred to the
device as being housed in a " dead box". An expert % xaB ^ ed J h j^
instructions and concluded that the radio was from 1965 and could
reach Eastern Europe. He felt that a sleeper had buried it who could
be activated in the future. A language expert said it was translated
badly from a foreign language, probably German. Many Germans go o
holiday in that area and one of them could have buried it It was also
found that a party of Russians had stayed nearby years before and they
only went out at night.

RUSSIA STEPS UP SPYING AGAINST GERMANY writes Robin Gedya in BONN.
Russian and eastern European espionage against Gem any threatens
internal security and is an "outrageous political affront to the aid
and cooperation offered by Bonn, a recent Interior Ministry report
stated .
Hhile military espionage renains a priority of the Eastern
intelligence service, attention has been diverted to spying out new
technology, where fiussia is trying to save tine and money by stealing
lies tern expertise .
Germany has become the focus of attention for Russia and the former
Soviet bloc states because of its strategically vital and accessible
situation at the heart of Europe, the report said.
"Russia's pledge to stop' sending agents to Germany after the Cold Mar
has proved thoroughly empty, " said a counter-espionage expert.
"Thousands of agents are falling over one another here from the
Russian Federation, to Poland, China and the Middle East. Not only has
there been a steady increase in espionage over the past five years,
but a burst of activity since last October shows President Yeltsin
has ordered an intensification." The report describes the
restructuring of Russia's intelligence service since the collapse of
communism, saying they have increased their effectiveness.
The FSB counter-espionage department, with 100,000 agents, has taken
over the intrusive and omniscient role formerly filled by the KGB. Its
new prestige marks a return to the pre-Yeltsin era of a largely
homogeneous intelligence service, the report claims.
The FBS's potter's have been extended to fighting organised crime and
terrorism. In addition to controlling security in the police and
military, it looks after economic and foreign security. The bar,
classified as the most sinister intelligence branch, coordinates
intelligence services and reports directly to the Russian president on
security and espionage .
The SBP is above any legal or constitutional control operating in a
highly conspiratorial sphere" according to the report. The GUO, a
sub-unit of the SBP, is responsible for the security of the president
and government ministers. The GRU, the military intelligence
organisation, has remained untouched by changes to other services.
US C HALLEN GE IN GULF RADIO MAR writes Robin Hright in MASHINGTON
The United States launched a new offensive in its campaign to
undermine the regimes in Iran and Iraq recently with inauguration of a
radio transmitter in Kuwait 12 times more powerful than any allowed to
operate in the United States .
...Economic sanctions, political isolation and a strong US military
presence in the region have made no significant differences to the
policies of the governments in either Iran or Iraq. Now the US

"Information is a powerful weapon, " said Geoffrey Cowan, director ot
the Voice of America. " So if getting information to people m , ran
about democracy and human rights and about what s happening m :,iae
their country and in the world makes a difference politically, ,hcn
this will be a transmitter of tremendous importance .
The 600-kilowatt transmitter will beam signals as far as Central Asia,
the Indian subcontinent, the Gulf and the eastern Mediterranean,
making US broadcasting available on home and car radios.
The biggest impact will be in Iran and Iraq, where audiences are
expected to expand significantly because listeners no longer need
short-wave radios to pick up American broadcasts. The transmissions
fflll be impossible to jam. (Ed. I am sure they will try).
Iranian broadcasts dominate the airwaves in the region, and Washington
has been unable to counter them, largely because of poor access to
local transmitter sites. The Kuwait move marks a major break-through
because governments in the Gulf have long rejected US requests to
build a jaediun wave relay station.
Could any readers confirm if this station is now on air and also the
frequency in use. Is it jammed ? Information appreciated from you MM
buffs.

> u *
Thank, you for staying with me so far, the next part of my feature is
something of a calculated guess, but if you look at all the evidence
so far it may make you ponder !
In April 1986 a terrible accident occurred. Many people died and
thousands of others suffered irreversible illness. This accident was
the world's worst nuclear disaster. A reactor at the Chernobyl power
station melted down.
The International Atomic Energy Agency is the body which regulates and
advises on the peaceful use of nuclear power. It has established a
system used to facilitate emergency assistance to member countries in
the event of radiation accidents.
The headquarters of the IAEA are situated at the Vienna International
Centre, Wagramerstrasse 5, P.0. Box 100, 1400, Vienna, Austria.
It is my opinion that the Buzzer is some kind of 'status indicator
for the disabled Chernobyl nuclear reactor. What exactly this means is
open to comment, but perhaps the signal we hear all the time is simply
saying that everything is stable.
You may at this point still be a bit dubious ! Have you heard of the
Gamma Curtain ? Recent reports have suggested that Russia s nuclear
power stations "posed an unacceptable risk" to safety. Hugh investment
was needed to bring them upto western standards. ohould another
accident like the one at Chernobyl occur, there is as yet a limited
capability for tracking the radiation plume.
Enter the "gamma curtain" - an early warning and monitoring system -
in Belarus and Ukraine. Set up at a cost of £3.1m with money from the
European Commission Tacis (technical assistance to the CIS), Gamma-1
will be fully operational by mid - 1996.
The gamma curtain is similar to systems already in use in the west
(more on this in a moment). The system will also give western Europe
an early warning of any accidental releases of radiation. The system
is a detection network, with radiation monitors sited around the
nuclear stations connected by radio link to local response centres
which collect and process the data. Duplicated^ computer systems at
each centre enables operators to monitor the situation continually.
However an alarm is automatically raised if present thresholds are
breached or any systems malfunction are detected.
All data are sent automatically to two national response centres, one
in Kiev and the other in Minsk, via dedicated phone lines. Summary
data will also be sent to western Europe via B - mail on a routine
basis and immedia te ly i f the s i tu a tion warrants it ..
Three stations have been selected for phase one. Ignalina in Belarus
and Rivne and Zaporizhya in Ukraine.
Chernobyl was not chosen because the severe contamination in the area
would have presented additional complexities for the pilot system.
